It's Official, 2017 SCTP & SASP Nationals at Cardinal Center

Published on December 17th, 2016

It’s “Official”, the 2017 SCTP & SASP Nationals will be held at the Cardinal Center in Ohio.

I have included a link to the hotel Marcia and I booked for next year. There is not much left but they have a “No up front charge -FREE Cancellation” rate that you may want to consider booking. Again that is for the nights of July 7th with a check out date of July 16th. Make sure that whatever you do you have the ability to cancel without penalty if something were to change.

Also, there have been a few people talking about camping together next year. Dennis DeVoe has offered to put together a list so when the Cardinal Center campground opens up we will be ready to go.

Any team members interested in camping at the 2017 SCTP/SASP Nationals, send Dennis a reply by December 31, 2016. Dennis is going to try for a group of campsites together in the 800 row of the campground. (The wooded row where a few team members stayed last year). The sites do not have sewer, but honey pot service is available.

Please contact Dennis with your camper size, number of slides, and dates you plan to stay. (The event runs from July 8-15,2017. If you plan on staying for the awards on Saturday, I recommend staying until the 16th and leaving in the morning.)

Please provide your email address and a good phone number in the reply.

I found this on a Coaches website and thought it an excellent read… what do you think?

HAVE A BIG ENOUGH DREAM
Athletes who are most successful start to train with a dream in mind. They have a specific, long-term goal that is personally meaningful to them. They nurture their dream nightly by vividly imagining themselves living it, performing that way and reaching that goal. Their big dream drives them to get up early, train hard and push through setbacks, obstacles and failure. Having a big dream will give a direction to your training. It will keep you motivated and focused. Without an emotionally compelling goal to drive you, it's easy to get lost and lose interest. Your big dream should belong to YOU and no one else! In other words, you should go after that goal for you, not for your coach, parents or teammates. You should get in the habit of taking your big goal with you every day to practice. This will keep you focused, give you a purpose and help you get the most out of each training session! Before each practice you want to ask yourself, how is what I'm going to do today going to help me get closer to my big dream? By doing this you won't get caught in the trap that most athletes fall into of complaining about practice. (I hate this drill Coach! Why do we have to do this?) If you have a big, personally meaningful goal, then you will take responsibility for making your practice a good one, regardless of the way the coaches run the training. ... See more
